Create an environment yourself where your capabilities shine and deficiencies are handled.

These days, if you tend to forget things you can use a computer calendar to deal with it. If after-work sucks, you can go to hacker event. Etc..

I don't remember saying that....I just don't see what good thinking autism makes you better than other people is? I thought that was the kind of attitude from NT's you disliked, yet you want to behave the exact same way? You're only proving both sides are just as capable of intolerance and hatred.

Yes because there are only autistic people and non-autistic people.......there aren't people with any other differences.

Would there be a neuro-diversity movement IF the ONLY Autism that existed was a severe form of Kanner's Classic Autism ?

I honestly don't know.....I personally feel everyone regardless of what disorder they have deserves to be treated as an individual human being I don't think classic autism should be an excluding factor. So no I don't think neuro-diversity is just for high functioning people with disorders.

The concept of neuro-diversity was pushed by higher Functioning Autists, asserting both disabilities and abilities, promoting differences.

I personally believe THAT any group(where there is found a neuro basis for their condition) can potentially classify themselves as neuro-diverse.

All is needed is a vocal number of group members (with a neuro based condition) who can find benefits and want acceptance with regards to their differences.

While the neuro-diverse movement began with Autism, we must recognize it may not necessarily end there.........

If the only type of autism that exists is classic low functioning autism then that implies that the super human does not exist. Indeed if the super human were to appear before us would we not be so ashamed that we would consider the super human to be mentally ill? For indeed the intelligence of the super human would make us look like fools. So would we not try top find fault with the super human and mock it?

Superhumans do not exist because our U.S. constitution says that all men are created equal.

ok...or maybe having autism does not make someone a super human but rather a person with autism.

Or maybe superhumans do not like going around and proving to the world that they are superhumans. What do you want them to do? Jump off of a cliff and fly through the air?

Well super humans have super abilities right? The only point I was trying to make is its rather distasteful to act like you're superior to people that don't have AS.

Super-human( being superior in ALL traits found in homo-sapiens yet of the same species) is quite different from someone who might have 'a' superior trait or 'several' superior traits' as compared to an average human. In other words, IF you are unable to do, most of the things(really all) THAT the average human is able to do(on a superior level), the title of super-human will probably allude you.

That is not true. Could not one consider that humans are inferior to gorillas because humans lack the physical strength and durability.

Maybe inferior when it comes to physical strength.

But not really. If a human wanted to he could gun down a gorilla.
